Re: got my new clutch lever...but it's black!



which, if any, of these levers retain the clutch safety interlock
switch?  i know i read about at least one replacement which does not,
and you have to hotwire the switch to let the bike start.  i'm just
enough of a doof sometimes that i kind of like my machinery to protect
me from myself, so i'd be interested in retaining the switch.  :-)
